That's a fantastic NSV :)

That's great you've met up irl!

What a lovely empathic post - I really appreciate it. I am sorry that you had so much going on, as you say, I can empathise! That sounds awful that you home flooded, and so soon after moving in. 6 months is a long time to be moved out too. Is the house better now than before with all the repairs? Getting sick is awful,…

I don't judge, I think it's a great idea. As women (especially) we are expected to do it all - work full time, raise children, look after the home. We can't do it all. We are not failures but it's impossible. Having help with cleaning if you can afford it is a great idea. When we buy our house (which from my previous post…

I am sorry to hear that you are sick. From your previous posts I know you've gone through a lot and you sound very run down. Let's have our safe place here where it's accepted we have bad times and it will get better!! You will get better. You deserve to be happy. We can have our pity party because we deserve to have our…

I agree. My brain and taste buds cannot fathom the red coloured food that isn't a tomato or a pepper!

Welcome!

@riderfangal I've been reading your username as riderangle since the beginning of the thread...until I've been replying to you :blush:

You are good with words! I really appreciate your words and so pleased you had your baby that's encouraging :smile: It hasn't helped when on hearing news of my friends well meaning colleagues follow up with 'you'll be next', or 'not long now for you'. I want to shout 'erm what do you know?'. They are well meaning but they…

Thank you it's nice to hear it is too much. Sometimes I think it's just me...

I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Drowning is a good description. Your desire to have had a girl does not remove your love for your boys. You will always love them this changes nothing. It's a feeling you have and that's OK. I'm sorry that you've been through this with your husband. Marriage can be so…

Oh, I am an October birthday too!

@Italian_Buju , @kelly_c_77 , @LBuehrle8 , @nonoelmo , @Glinda1971 , @lilaclovebird , @kellienw335 , @riderfangal , @orangesmartie , @Susieq_1994 , @pofoster21 , @ythannah , @xLoveLikeWinterx Thanks all of you for taking the time to wish me well and offer me advice. I really appreciate it. It's too long, complicated and…

This is long so don't expect people to read it - just need to get it out! Like a lot of other posters here I am going through lots of life stresses at the moment and the last few days have felt very sad, numb and unmotivated. I am ever so slightly eating my feelings 'grief bacon' but am logging it all so I can see it in…

That's great to have had such an interest I'd love to see some photos. I'm quite new to it all it was my first motor show event. My husband is a massive life long F1 fan so I know drivers in that and that's about it. Been watching some shows about motorcycle stars too so feel I'm slowly learning a bit more...

I agree the cars have lost their magical scream!

@LBuehrle8 - I am here but most of the posting happens when I'm asleep so there's too much to catch up on to comment a lot. I really enjoy reading though :wink: @pofoster21 well done on your race! @orangesmartie glad Charlie had fun at the zoo again. @Susieq_1994 good luck with getting the fitbit you CAN do it! I love…

Aw I'm now a fan it was a brilliant day. Hadn't seen F1 cars in the flesh before and the V8 and V10 engines were so loud, it was brilliant to witness. My favourites were the American Monster Trucks basically doing wheelies up the hill.

@orangesmartie much better explanation than me. Totally didn't know about the Thatcher thing!

Haha not sure if anyone has answered this...if you are not from/in UK it probably sounds strange. It's soft scoop whipped ice cream in a cone with a chocolate flake. Also known as a 99 from when they used to cost 99 pence (sterling). They are served from an ice cream van. Reminds me of childhood!

Checking in from page 1084 I'm far behind so won't quote anything. Back from a day at Goodwood Festival of Speed was brilliant and enjoyed my pieminister beef and ale pie followed by a large Mr Whippy. My Fitbit says I did 12500 steps so I'm not even sorry!

Congratulations that's really good news, what a lovely feeling. Sorry to hear about the long shift and the ear infection though, how rubbish.

Whenever I do something at home I ask my husband 'Did Tubbs do good' and so now I know that's your username I keep chuckling to myself...

Haha scare farts are the best! I hate in when my dog 'Baxter' manages to do a loud sloppy one when trotting past me on the stairs for example! I'm half disgusted and half trying not to laugh because I don't want to embarrass him. The first time he barked as a puppy he scared himself which was cute :smiley:

@Lois_1989 Sarabi was beautiful, look at her little paws all crossed over. I have a Golden Retriever (in my profile pic) he's 3 and balmy, I love him. Dogs really are part of the family. I am sorry for your loss.

I'm in the SE of England too :smile:

Love that dog. My phone has updated and I am not seeing pics on the app. Sad times. I've tried an uninstall to no avail. Have to look at work to see cute pups *ahem*

Your absence is notable, and you are certainly not a loser. :star:

@pofoster21 and @Glinda1971 thanks! It actually made me enjoy the weekend even more having the knowledge that I don't have to have an all or nothing mentality. Such a good head space to be in lets hope it lasts.

This weekend I went away to an adults music weekend at Butlins and I meticulously logged every single food and drink item consumed and am very proud of myself for doing so. I did go over slightly on calories but it's to be expected. I enjoyed seeing my miles/steps going up from all the dancing! My confession is I'm proud I…
